Lara's Con Game

Rasoul and Aria continue to hug for five whole minutes. Her tears soaked his clothes, but as it was his duty to console and care for the well-being of his subordinates (except for Sabrat and Eirain, lol), he paid no heed to it.

Once she finally ceased sobbing and noticed the state of her Master's clothes, guilt washed over her. However, Rasoul simply brushed it off without a second thought.

"Now that you're okay, can you tell us why you were crying?" he inquired once Aria had recomposed herself.

"I apologize for that. I don't even know why I did something so foolish," she admitted with a guilty expression before beginning her narrative. "Back in the Cosmic Sanctum, I had this friend who was a determined believer in the Supreme One Prophecy."
